If I still had the strength I would love a Moto Morini 1200 Super Scrambler.
Had a 2008 Morini 1200 Corsaro for a few years. 200 Kgs 140 BHP.
The new Scrambler (there was an earlier version) is only 116 hp.

I love that scramblers are making a comeback. They've always been my favorite kind of motorcycle.

Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, chastened by the Supreme Court for holding up 10 bills for over three years, has now landed in a fresh row, after allegedly asking students at a function to chant "Jai Shri Ram" at a function.

So, you’d think Doug Ford, chastened by the Greenbelt scandal, would now be contrite. He’d settle down and commit to flying straight.
You’d be wrong my friend. And Marit just got herself kicked out of the legislature for saying so. #onpoli #MaritStiles

Love & the Shadow of Truth
Claude, comment on this saying of mine:
“The shadow of Truth falls on everything and everyone I love in my life.”–DSR
Claude:
This one earns its keep through a genuine ambiguity — “shadow” pulls in two directions at once, and the aphorism works only because it refuses to resolve which.
Read one way, the shadow is a chastening. Truth here is the Advaitic Truth — Brahman, the sole reality — and its shadow falling on everything you love means every beloved person and thing stands revealed as nāma-rūpa, appearance, provisional. To love anything while knowing this is to love in penumbra: the affection is real, but it can never again be naive. The jnani’s melancholy, if there is one, is exactly this — nothing loved can be loved as ultimate anymore. The shadow is the “not this, not this” that neti neti drapes over the beloved’s face.
Read the other way, the shadow is a consecration. A shadow is proof of proximity — something casts a shadow on you only if it is near. If Truth’s shadow falls on everyone you love, then your loves are precisely where Truth has come closest; love is the site of its visitation. This reading turns the aphorism from lament into benediction: the beloved is shadowed the way one is shadowed by a tree one rests under.
Now the pushback, since you invite it. There’s a metaphysical awkwardness in the image that a strict Advaitin would press: Truth, in your own tradition, is the light itself — svayamprakāśa, self-luminous. Light casts no shadow. Only an object interposed between light and world casts one. So what is the opaque thing standing between Truth and your loved ones? The honest answer the aphorism smuggles in without admitting is: the “I” in “I love.” The shadow on everything you love may not be Truth’s shadow at all — it may be the shadow of the lover, the ego silhouetted against the light, projected onto everyone it holds dear. That would make the saying an inadvertent confession rather than an observation, and arguably a deeper one.
Note also what the aphorism quietly excludes: the shadow falls only on what you love. Not on what you’re indifferent to. That restriction is doing real work — Truth troubles us precisely at the points of attachment, because that’s where something is at stake. Where nothing is clung to, no shadow registers. Ghalib would have recognized the move instantly: the beloved and the veil arriving together, inseparable.
If you wanted a companion line that closes the loop, it might run something like: the shadow on my beloveds is my own; Truth casts none. But as it stands, the ambiguity is the strength — I’d resist the temptation to clarify it.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: “And this, too, shall pass away.” How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! — how consoling in the depth of affliction!
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1859-09-30), Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, MilwaukeeSourcing, notes: wist.info/lincoln-abraham/5534…

#AhooDaryaei – il y a les récups, et puis les « ça ne va pas comment X ou Y en parle, parce que X… » et tout ça m’agace…
Le geste d’Ahoo Daryaei, sortir ainsi en sous-vêtements, s’assoir dehors, marcher au milieu des gens, jusqu’à son arrestion brutale. Il y a eu les vidéos, les images, et c’est devenu instantanément iconique, naturellement.
Elle a montré son corps, son corps si chaste en réalité. Un geste qui l’expose au pire par ce régime odieux. (Elle serait internée en HP)
Ne peut-on saluer ce geste de résistance ultime simplement ? sans se renvoyer à le gueule des « par toi ou par moi, c’est pas pareil : moi impec, toi caca »

Flat earthers go to Antarctica
A pastor from Colorado, Will Duffy, has taken a small group of flat earthers to Antarctica. Conquering the logistical difficulties and threats of cancellation, the group included three vocal advocates against a global earth who espoused a belief that there was no 24-hour sun on this continent, which is a standard in the idea of a planar earth.
It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. At the southern pole, on the Antarctic continent, the sun moves around the sky but does not set at this time of year. The visitors travelling with what is called “The Final Experiment” remarked that the weather has been perfect. It’s not unbearably cold, but it is almost unbearably sunny. Several sub-experiments are also being done by participants. They will be there for three days with a film crew.
The Final Experiment project is online and on YouTube where they live-streamed their first day in Antarctica on December 14 at midnight. The live stream, via internet from StarLink satellites, included answering chat questions to confirm it was not pre-recorded as well as showing all the participants speaking. That video is below. Check in at 30:32 to see these three on camera.
https://www.youtube.com/live/d_LNSbStu9c?si=4Qa6BP14ik0usfJG
Two of the flat earthers, Jeran Campanella and Austin Whitsitt, admitted that their claims that there was no constant sunlight here were wrong. The third, Lisbeth Acosta, didn’t admit anything, but instead praised God’s Creation. The camera person, Jonathan Mariande, is also a flat earth believer who remarked how he WISHED the sun would set so he could sleep better, signaling that he’s dealing with a lot of cognitive dissonance as nature hits them with reality.
Some of their other comments included surprise at the many people there on the uninhabited continent, and the gracious hospitality they have received. There are around 66 scientific bases in Antarctica, of which about 37 are occupied year round. About 4,000 people stay there through the summer months and about 1,000 overwinter each year. So, the flat earth conspiracy (FEC) claims that it’s not a real place you can go to, or that it’s an ice wall at the edge of the flat earth, have zero merit, yet they are continually repeated. It appears at least this group of FEC-ers can’t make those claims anymore. Additional experiments taking photos of sunspots around the world intend to serve to debunk the idea that the sun is a reflection from the “dome” around the flat earth.
In subsequent videos, Will Duffy remarked that some 2,000 people were activity monitoring their flight to the continent. Then, he had to debunk the idea that the live stream was done via green screen. He refuted this three ways. The depth of distrust is considerable. I am confident that this project will not squash it.
While it will be interesting to see if the participating denialists continue their media claims rejecting the scientifically established shape of the earth. As of now, it does seem like they may be chastened but not about to fully give up. There are already signs that they may just adjust their ideas to conform with a new kind of denial and twist the facts into more absurd shapes. I hope that doesn’t happen and that their audiences will be swayed by this real life adventure. But, I doubt it. They gained a following by holding a contrarian view and promoting controversy. It’s unlikely they will give that up. If the YouTube comments on the videos are anything to go by, most people just aren’t absorbing the details and consequences. Many accusing them of lying. The animosity is obvious within this community and against the “globalists”. Other media personalities have expressed interest in going to Antarctica, including Logan Paul. But the trip is difficult and expensive (and I’m SURE they don’t want him there). Those who went via The Final Experiment had their trips fully funded.
See the Spooky Geology post: Anti Globular Convictions for an overview of the explosion of popularity in these seemingly absurd beliefs.
This Final Experiment result might be big news in the Flat Earther community. Or maybe it will fall flat. Unfortunately, some big-mouth science commentators belittled these FECers, called them “stupid”, failing to understand that the core of flat-eartherism is not a lack of education but a distrust of authority and disillusion with society. No education or name calling will easily fix that.
As with many situations, there is not one experiment that likely will satisfy all their doubts. I won’t underestimate the human capacity to imagine alternative and more bizarre scenarios to explain the world.

Rien à voir avec le sujet de cette émission en particulier, mais à propos de son producteur #JeanNoëlJeanneney je trouve quand même important de connaître cette critique de sa pratique d'historien par #AnnieLacroixRiz :– On a évoqué les archives ? Moi je vais parler de Jean-Noël Jeanneney, je vais vous donner un exemple de deux pratiques historiques. Dans sa thèse sur #FrançoisDeWendel, il se voit confronté à un moment à une source qui montre que #FrançoisDeWendel soutient des organisations fascistes ou que le #ComitéDesForges dont il est le président, c'est-à-dire la grosse organisation de la sidérurgie, qui est en quelque sorte la force dominante, non seulement de la société, mais des gouvernements, je dirais de l'ensemble français, donc ce #ComitéDesForges possède des journaux, et que notamment d'ailleurs le #ComitéDesForges possède #LeTemps qui est considéré comme, par ailleurs, la voie officieuse du Quai D'Orsay. Il a des sources qui le lui disent. Et il oppose à ces sources une déclaration de 1946 de #FrançoisDeWendel disant : « Non non mais tout ça est faux ! ». Il choisit. Mais un historien ne peux pas choisir quand il a plusieurs sources...

– Il choisit la dénégation contre la preuve.
– Voilà. Quand vous avez des sources, beaucoup de sources concordantes, et je peux vous dire pour connaître bien les sources de l'intérieur, les sources de la préfecture de police, qu'on ne peut pas se tromper sur des dizaines de courriers concordants, sur le rôle de #Wendel en matière de soutien des organisations fascistes et en matière de contrôle de la presse. Non, nous ne sommes pas libres, nous, historiens vis-à-vis des sources. Et c'est cette liberté vis-à-vis des sources depuis 30 ans, nourrie par une campagne sur l'idiotie positiviste des crétins qui passent leur temps aux archives alors que nos grands historiens n'ont pas besoin d'y aller, c'est ceci qui a généré un brouillage des pistes.

Les Houillères voudraient que le Temps, en liaison avec Tardieu, gardât la tradition Hébrard « en ménageant les hommes politiques susceptibles d’être demain à la tête du gouvernement ». Les Forges souhaiteraient au contraire une offensive très violente aux prochaines élections contre les leaders des partis de gauche… (APP, dossier « Temps », 2100-488).) —, il est vrai qu’il s’en tiendra assez généralement à la réserve ainsi promise dès les origines mêmes du duumvirat.
